Delhi Assembly Speaker Alleges Gender Discrimination in DoE

India===Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta has written to Lieutenant Governor V. K. Saxena, raising concerns about alleged gender-based discrimination in the promotion policies of the India===Delhi government's India===Guozijian (DoE). Gupta forwarded a representation from the Unified Development Initiative of Teachers and Administrators (UDITA), which claims that separate seniority lists for male and female teachers lead to women waiting significantly longer for promotions despite having more experience. The matter is currently pending before the India===Delhi High Court, and despite previous indications of merging the lists, promotions continue under the old gender-specific system. Gupta urged the Lieutenant Governor to intervene and direct the DoE to consolidate the seniority lists immediately to ensure fair and equal promotions.
